President Kevin Worthen shares his vision for BYU, the Marriott School, and influencing the world's future leaders. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to hear from the president of Brigham Young University in a smaller setting. Please note that this date differs from our usual 4th Wednesday. We are also moving the venue to BYU's campus in the Harmon Conference Center (pleanty of parking west of the building).

SPEAKER

In describing Kevin J Worthen, 13th president of Brigham Young University, friends and colleagues use a variety of descriptors, some of them seemingly contradictory: brilliant yet unassuming, physically towering yet down-to-earth, visionary yet deferential. But when asked to introduce himself at the press conference following the March 2014 announcement of his new position, Worthen kept it simple: "I'm a BYU guy through and through."

In his tenure as dean and vice president, and now as BYU president, Worthen has turned again and again to the mission of BYU, finding inspiration and motivating vision in the charge "to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life."

"There is a divine destiny at this school," Worthen declared in an April 2014 address, "and it [plays] out largely in the lives of our graduates and the influence that they have. ... To be part of an organization that has that kind of impact--an eternal impact on people's lives--it's a tremendous experience."

Alan Ashton

Alan C. Ashton, co-founder of WordPerfect Corporation, was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1966, Dr. Ashton graduated magna cum laude from the University of Utah with a bachelors’ degree in mathematics. He immediately began working on his doctorate in the newly established Computer Science Department at the University of Utah, under the tutelage of such notable computer scientists as Dr. David Evans, Dr. Ivan Sutherland and Dr. Elliott Organick.

After receiving his Ph.D. in 1970, Dr. Ashton began and 14 year career as a professor of Computer Science at Brigham Young University. His dedication to assisting students in their educational endeavors prompted the graduating class of 1986 to nominate Dr. Ashton as the “Outstanding Professor of the Year”. It was also during his tenure as a professor that he met Bruce Bastian, his co-founder in developing WordPerfect.

WordPerfect evolved from an idea Alan Ashton conceived as a graduate student in 1969. He submitted two options for computer research projects to his professors, one involving music and the other involving word processing. His professors opted for the music project. It wasn’t until 1978, almost nine years later, that he dusted off his second idea and began working with Bruce Bastian on what would become the world’s best selling word processing software.

In 1987, Dr. Ashton left BYU to serve full time as the President and CEO of WordPerfect Corporation. That same year, he was named the “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the Small Business Association of Utah. By 1993, WordPerfect Corporation had over 5,000 employees worldwide and more than $700 million in revenue. In 1994, WordPerfect was acquired by Novell, Inc.

Alan and his wife, Karen, co-founded Thanksgiving Point in 1995 in Lehi, Utah, as an expression of gratitude for all that they received in the years with WordPerfect. From 2004 to 2007, Alan served as a Mission President for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Ashton is currently serving on the board of the Wheatley Institute and the President’s Leadership Council for Brigham Young University. He and Karen were awarded the Utah Philanthropic Leadership Award for 2007 and the Friends for Sight People of Vision Award in 2008.

Alan and his wife Karen have served as the President and Matron of the Provo Utah Temple from 2013-16. He enjoys spending time with his wife, Karen, and their 11 children and growing number of grandchildren. He also enjoys music, gardening, and tennis.

Karen Ashton

Karen was born and raised in Salt Lake City. She attended Murray High School where she was involved in student government, music, debate and drama. Karen met her future husband, Alan, on a blind date and they were married on March 15, 1968, in the Salt Lake City Temple. They began their married life in Salt Lake City, as Alan worked on his Ph.D. at the University of Utah. After the completion of Alan’s education, they moved to Orem, Utah, and Alan began a 14-year career as a professor at Brigham Young University in Provo.

Karen is the mother of 11 children and the proud grandmother of over 60 grandchildren. She and Alan have sent missionaries to Germany, Scotland, The Czech Republic, Russia, Korea and California.

In 1997, Karen was awarded an honorary doctoral degree from Utah Valley State College. In 1998, she was recognized with Alan by the BYU Marriott School of Management as Utahns of theYear and, in 2012, they were recognized by the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce as the Pillars of the Valley. Karen has also received the Senator Arthur B. Watkins Award for Outstanding Contributions to Cultural Arts.

Karen has spent many hours serving her community and church. She has served as president of Friends of the Orem Public Library and as a member of the Orem Public Library Board. She has been a volunteer at the Primary Children’s Medical Center, Hillcrest Elementary School and for various KBYU projects. She has served as a member of the Primary General Board and the General Young Women Board for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Shakespearean Festival Board of Governors, BYU Museum of Art, LDS Foundation Board, and on the BYU Lighting the Way Campaign Committee. In July 2003, Karen was appointed by Governor Leavitt as a member of the Board of Trustees for Utah Valley State College. From 2004 to 2007, she and her husband served a three-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Toronto, Canada. She and Alan received the Utah Philanthropic Leadership Award for 2007 and the Friends for Sight People of Vision Award in 2008.

In 1990, Karen accepted the challenge from the Orem City Council to raise $500,000 to build a children’s library. To help accomplish this goal, she established the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. This fund raiser made it possible for the Friends of the Orem Public Library to achieve their goal of raising $500,000 and the children’s library was successfully completed in 1995. The Timpanogos Storytelling Festival continues to be a successful event, providing storytellers and educational workshops to children all over the state of Utah.

In 1995, Karen and Alan founded Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah as an expression of gratitude for all that they had received through the years with WordPerfect, the company that Alan co-founded.

Alan and Karen served as President and Matron of the Provo Utah Temple 2013-16. Despite her busy agenda, Karen makes sure that her husband and their children come first. According to Karen, family is her most important asset. Karen also enjoys quilting, knitting, photography, and working on her family history.
